Paul G. Allen

Through four decades after co-founding Microsoft, entrepreneur and philanthropist Paul G. Allen explored the frontiers of technology and human knowledge, and acting to change the future. Through Vulcan, Allen worked to save endangered species, slow climate change, improve ocean health, share art, history and film, develop new technology, tackle epidemics, research how the human brain works and build sustainable communities. In all his endeavors, Allen constantly asked “What if…?” and pushed people to challenge conventional thinking, collaborate across disciplines and reimagine what’s possible.
